[SD-User] SDI

[Jim Martin]

Hi Paul
Try this sequence, if it does not cause a problem I will zip up my .all and
send it to you.
mode is ssb
enter  F4E  as a callsign
space to serial number
enter   1
space to IOTA field,   EU is already in the field
enter  E and  enter to log contact
the prog freezes and PC beeps ( to make the program error only the three
letters EUE should be in the IOTA ref field)
Fails every time here with my contest log and various test logs set up
before the contest.
Most call combinations work fine and tell you to fix the IOTA ref
I am using the latest SDI with the fix for the Q command
Jim

Just rushing out to work but I think the peroblem is entering the letter E
in the IOTA field.  Fails with lots of calls signs at this end.
